The Maine Statesman Now consId .
cred Out of All Danger.

ST. LOUIS, April 16.-A special from Fort
Gibson says Mr.. Blaine passed an easy
night. He awoke three times, each time par
taking of nourishment of milk. In the
morning he appeared very much refreshed
and ate hearty breakfast, relishing the
meat, swallowing fibre and all. Heretofore
his stomach refused anything solid. His
respiration and temperature are normal.
The weather is warm and threatens rain, a
favorable condition for the patient. DIR.
Byrn considers all danger now passed but
requires Mr.. Blaine to remain in his room
for at least one week.
z Dr. Mudd of this city, who went to Fort
Gibson to examine and treat Mr.. Blaine, re-
turned home tonight. He reports Mr. Blaine
has had slight fever, the result of general
bronchitis and slight pneumonia of
the lower margin OF the left lung.
The bronchitis has improved and there
was no extension of pneumonia for the 36
hours ending at noon today. There has been
no fever. Mr.. Blaine seems to be recovering
rapidly, but DR.. Mudd has advised him not
to attempt to travel for another week.

EXCEEDINGLY SERIOUS.
Tne Toronto Globe on the PresI-
dents Letter Concerning the
Fisheries,

TORONTO, April 1.-THE Globe today
says: "The letter Of President Cleveland to
the president of the Fishery Union of Glou-
cester. Mass, is remarkable and important
document. 1t is not such letter as the
Americans interested in the fisheries desired
to receive from the President, but the letter
was evidently intended as warning to Ca
nadians also. While we desire that the
rights Of Canada be firmly and efficiently as
serted and maintained, we hope that Ameri-
can fishermen will not be refused any privi-
leges to which they are entitled, and that
they will never experience unjust or un-
friendly treatment from those employed In
the protection Of our rights. 1t would be
folly, however, to put out Of sight the fact
that many in the United States have rights
in our waters which we believe they have
not under the terms Of the treaty now in
force, and that there are privileges to which
they are entitled in the opinion Of the Presi-
dent, sto which we say they have no title
whatever. From this misunderstanding, IL
we assert what we believe to be our rights,
greater MISUNDERSTANDING may arise. This
letter, although studiously moderate in tone,
intimates plainly what may follow. The po-
sition, to say the least, is exceedingly serious

PROPELLER BLADES BROKEN
A Freight Steamer DisabIed-Nearly
Lost on Sable Island.

HALIFAX, April 1.-THE steamer Alaska

Northeast Bar and was right among the
breakers. He was in sight Of the lighthouse
and threw up rockets and made other efforts
to attract the attention Of the life-saving
people without success. In getting clear Of
his dangerous position he lost one anchor

"a TOOL OF RUSSIA"
New srork Labor Organization Con-
denim Secretary Bayard.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Central Labor
Union had a hot talk yesterday about Rus
sia .and Secretary Bayard. A resolution
with big red seal was presented on behalf
of ithe Excelsior Club, reciting that the
Secretary of State and the Russian Minister,
Baron De Struve, had signed treaty for
the purpose of exraditing Political offenders.
The document, striking a blow at the
United States and the liberties Of the people,
had been sent to Russia for the Czar's sigma
ture and would, when signed, become a law
until the Senate reconyenes. Tie other
monarchieal Powers of Europe were trying
to effect similar treaty. Because Of these
things the Excelsior Labor Club wanted the
Central Labor Union to denounce the Secre-
tary of State as "a tool of Russia. acting
without the knowledge of the people when
he tramples under foot one of the grandest
principles of this country" The Central
Labor Union talked the matter over and
adopted the resolution with rush and vim.
They also indorsed the action taken by sec
tila 10, denouncing the course pursued by
Archbishop Corrigan against Father Curran
and DR.. Burtsell as persecution of DR.. Nc
Glynn and his sympathizers.

land Assembly Knights of Labor of vinal-

the quality of material used
and the superior manner in
which they are made are TAX

sizes and we request you to
give them thorough examin

The Portland daily press., 1887-04-12

We have manufactured a
large lot of these fine goods
and we propose to offer them
to our patrons and close out
the entire lot by Mayl.
We have every reason to be-
iieve they are the best suits
we have ever seen for these
reasons:
ist. The goods are the best
quality "MiddIesex," full In
digo and warranted absolute
ly fast colors. Many who are
not familiar with the various
grades of Blue FIanneIs have
an idea that all "MiddIesex"
goods are the same. Such is
not the case however. There
are different weights, differ
ent grades, different shades,
and different costs, for the
different qualities. Our Mid-
dIesex" suits are made from
the best flannel produced by
that celebrated mill.
I'd. The goods being a lit
tie heavier than most makes
are firmer, hold their shape
better, fit better and wear
longer.
Sd. They are made from the
very finest stock and are
guaranteed free from all cot
ton and shoddy mixtures.
4th. They are thoroughly
well made and trimmed and
are equal in every respect to
suits that retail for $i5 and

ENCORE! ENCORE /!

You responded with such ap-
plause, and cash promptness to
our lastweek's Cotton Sheeting
Symphony and Calico Recital,
that we are moved tooffer as an
encore, a simple Parasol Ballad.
We learn from the talented
Miss Minerva Sophomore, of
Vassar, that "Parasol" comes
from two French and Latin
words "Paysv," to ward off, and
'S0I," sun, hence "ParasoT' to
keep off the sun.
The use of the Parasol to ward off other OBJ
Jects, such as venemous cow, meddlsome
.Iog, or poor but persistent admirer, is pro
hibited by no organic nor statute law, although
what the foolishness of modern legislatures
may tempt them to enact, passes all earthly
comprehension.)
We kept over from last
season about e5 Parasols, for
noreason except thatwe bought
heavily, and like many another
hadn't sense enough to stop
buying when we had enough.
Now a last years Parasol,
like a last years husband or
baby, is just as good this year
as last; yes, better, because
more mature.
These are all good and true,
and most of them black.
ueferring now to the Parasols, not the hus.
bands and babies)
We wish to start the Parasol
season with a new, fresh stock;
SO have placed these o5 last
years Parasols on the middle
counter, where they will be sold
at exactly half price.
tThose who are familiar with our methods,
need not be told that half price with us means
Just that, and not 10 per cent. more than the
usual price.)
They are marked in plain
figures-our last years price.
You select the Parasol that
pleases you, pay just one-half
the price marked on the tag,
and the Parasol is yours, to
keep off the sun or the other
objects aforesaid, or to flirt
with, or bail a boat.
